BEARING CAGE & ROLLING ELEMENT BEARING

摘要

A bearing cage for retaining rolling elements of a rolling element bearing, the bearing cage having at least one first ring structure to which at least one first cage bar is connected. The at least one first cage bar comprises a side surface that is arranged to extend along an outer surface of a rolling element when the bearing cage is in use, whereby the side surface comprises a radially outer edge and a radially inner edge. The distance between the radially outer edges of two adjacent cage bars between which a rolling element is located when the bearing cage is in use is greater than the distance between two adjacent radially inner edges of the two adjacent cage bars.
